Could you expand on what you mean by this?

When you look through a lens, you will get diffraction around the perimeter. This is the kind of thing you try to reduce, i.e. as an astronomer or optical physicist. But it is there, with any lens, no matter what.

I liken this to the paradox of Godel's incompleteness (they couldn't just call it a paradox ;). The Big Bang is like staring into the paradox of the way we calculate most of the universe. Mathematically, there is a big bang in every moment, if you take the parameters far enough.

Big Bangists see this as the origin of the universe, not the the paradox of Quantum Physics.

No, sorry, please don’t.
